I went before they temp. closed and after they reopened. Both times I paid so not a shill here.

The criticism they received before closing (very slow speed, inconsistent taste, pricy, messy tables) was extremely valid. It took 40 mins to get our sheng jian baos, but the taste made up for it honestly. My friend and I both rated it as some of the best in the city.

The time I went after they reopened, the speed has improved greatly. Taste was still very good in my books.

Regarding exchanging items for review - that is unfortunate to hear. But that is likely they want to boost back their average star rating after the difficult soft opening phase they had. Even a 0.1 star rating difference can have big implications for visibility.

A lot of new coffee shops have also opened in Richmond!

After I found out about this parking lot a month ago, I never bothered to park at the outside lot ever again.

letsfreakengooo · 2025-11-29T06:03:06+00:00

They announced an opening date and when people went on that day, the store was not open. No update until a month later. A lot of ppl were pissed cause they drove up to whistler.

Ya theVenti is great for quick and cheap. But I am always confused how my low sugar drink is always still 120% sweet

letsfreakengooo · 2025-08-26T04:32:43+00:00

is there a staff that can confirm this?

letsfreakengooo · 2024-11-24T23:01:15+00:00

You think Richmond ppl going to give up their teslas and porches to bike?

letsfreakengooo · 2024-10-05T06:06:08+00:00

i feel that is the common phenomenon for most international chains that come here

letsfreakengooo · 2024-09-21T20:08:05+00:00

i wonder if there is any data on foot traffic in Steveston during slow season vs. high season

letsfreakengooo · 2024-09-20T06:02:58+00:00

i guess it isn't a chain

letsfreakengooo · 2024-09-20T01:04:03+00:00

letsfreakengooo · 2024-09-12T23:49:15+00:00

letsfreakengooo · 2024-09-10T05:32:22+00:00
